Finding the correct telephone number to call you local benefit delivery centre? Finding the right telephone number so that you can apply for help can be difficult. Recently the DWP have changed their website structure and it is almost impossible to find the correct 0845 or free 0800 telephone Â number for your area. Below, we’ve provided call connection numbers to help you get through.

This is an advice site that also offers call forwarding options, and we are in no way affiliated with the Department - we are not affiliated with any organisation mentioned. for Work & Pensions, Social Fund, or any other organisation mentioned on this website.

Calls to the Social Fund on their direct number 0800 169 0140 are free from any BT landline (this include call/phone boxes) and also includes calls from most of the larger mobile phone networks.

Contacting Social Fund

An application will typically take around 30 minutes and at the end of the call the person that you have been speaking to ( The Jobcentre Decision Maker) will , as it sounds, be making the decision on making a payment or not.

If it is decided that you are eligible for a help, in most cases you will be given a choice as to how you want to be paid. you can collect a GIRO or have a DIRECT PAYMENT into your bank account, either of these will be dealt with on the same day.

One of the more difficult things to come across on the internet is the actual telephone number so that you can call and make an application, when we started this project we decided that what we were going to try to do is to offer a sort of support forum to those that wanted to get in touch with the jobcentre and make an application for help.

Of all of the things that we have found, by either looking at the main sites or trawling through leaflets and handouts from the powers that be, actually coming across the correct crisis telephone number has been by far the most difficult. That’s why we have put together these call connection numbers, where we can forward your calls to the intended department.

Hey, I have my benefits paid into my mother account, because I am on ESA and unable to manage my money very well, but She gave me my money in cash to me, I travelled back home yesterday on the coach and left my wallet on it, I’ve contacted their lost and found and its not been handed in. I have no money now, and the Crisis loans have shut down, who do i contact for help?

hi me and my partner have just split as we are being evicted due to rent arrears and he wants to move away, unfortunately that means me and my 2 children now have no where to live. I have talked to the council and nothing can be sorted until next week as my advisor will be off for the rest of the week even though i’ve given them the details of a house that only wants 400 pound upfront for the rent and a 100 pound deposit. would it be possible for me to apply for rent in advance even though im not claiming income support at the minute as not sure if my partner has cancelled the previous claim of jsa he was claiming for us, as hes just started working and not around when the phonelines are open to contact anyone.
thanks for any help you can give

Iv just been sanctioned, i have appealed the jobcentres decision and filled out hardship form but no-one has told me when i would find out what the next decisions are. I dont know what to do as i live alone, have 65p emergency gas, hardly any food and no money to get to get anymore I am in crisis. Would i be accepted for a social fund crisis payment ?

Hey Suzanne, I used to work for The DWP. You are eligible to apply for a crisis loan whenever, they will then make a decision. If you are sanctioned however they will not offer a crisis loan to you at all. If your sanction is for longer than a 2 week week period (15 days or more) then you can apply for hardship. Which you can do at your local JCP by getting an appointment made. I hope this helps. I too have claimed for JSA before and completely understand how awful it is when your’e in a situation like this. Hope all works out for you. Best of luck x
